Soudali?
Rooted in flavor and fueled by heritage, our kitchen is led by Executive Chef Alim, a Chicago native whose culinary roots run deep through generations of soulful, home-cooked food. His passion meets purpose in partnership with Zahra — a creative force with rich Gambian and Moroccan roots. Together, they blend bold traditions, global flavors, and heartfelt hospitality into every dish. What started as a shared love for food became a vibrant culinary journey — where Midwest soul meets North and West African spice. SOUDALI reflects the spirit of Chicago—diverse, innovative, and grounded in tradition—while offering a menu that bridges continents and cultures. With a vision to tell a story through every dish, Alim invites guests to taste a soulful narrative of heritage, migration, and reinvention. Welcome to our table.
